i left the jw's when i was 17, so most of these games were played during teenage years.. here are some things i remember doing with my friends during the assembly:.
1. the last clap.
after a brothers talk or when "new light" emerged and the entire stadium would erupt with clapping we would see if one of us could be the very last person in the entire stadium to clap.. 2. the laugh game.
A game that I perfected at one DA was the "deaf" game. It consists of doing something inappropriate (standing in front of a "keep moving" sign etc.) and completely ignoring the repeated "Brother!" cries.
Then when then person finally makes eye-contact point and nod to indicate you are deaf and enjoy the horrified apologies.
Obviously you can't do this everywhere, but it was great.
here is another lame a$$ email from a dub (how is it the only use they can think of for the internet is to regurgitate these lame parable's.).
warning have your barf bags ready.. .
this is very thought provoking.
Are they really so presumptuous to think that the creator of the WHOLE FARKING ENCHILADA is going to notice one window washer because he went to some meetings and never messed around on his wife?
Oh puhleeeeeeze!

"they just won't stop knocking" gasped local elder john swollenliver as he described the relentless barage of trick-or-treaters beating on his door.
"why do they keep knocking on the door!
I took my 3 y/o out as a princess, but the closest my wife would get to passing out candy was to put a bucket with a "take one" sign on the front porch.
She was pretty good natured about it and re-filled the bucket several time during the evening while we were out knocking on doors, but of course the Dub brainwashing kicked in and she felt guilty afterwards. I told her to confess if she felt that badly and I would accept the consequences. I also told her any restrictions about passing out candy are pure WT fabrication. What was Jesus' example regarding children?
Nobody indulged children more than Christ did. A simple act to make a anonymous child happy is one of the sweetest gestures a human being can make and is duly recorded as such in the Bible regardless of how hard the WT tries to pervert such a simple pleasure.
I almost cried when my child sat down on the grass for a quick candy picnic with a little bunny and another little princess. It was just beautiful.
What a contrast with the 3 y/o's who were in meetings that night. Getting the crap beat out of them just because they can't sit still for two hours straight. Or maybe I should take the advice of the 70+ y/o "Special Pioneer" and feed my child some cough syrup before the meeting so that she sleeps? Nice huh?
just wondering, since i talk about the wtbts now more than ever(being disfellowshipped does me that way), do i submit negative hours since it's all "apostate in nature"?
shouldn't i be able to figure in some sort of multiplier (1.3 or 1.4) since people are more willing to listen to negative talk about the borg...what do you think?
Hey!
You might have hit on something that will create confusion in the elder ranks. Why not turn in your hours VIA mail to the book study leader and wait and see what happens?
I bet you utterly freak them out wondering what to do about how repentant you are.
Just don't answer when they call.

NIce!
I went out candy hunting with my 3 y/o tonight, and made it a point to check out the local JW neighbors.
I saw the light of their TV (they are the only ones with no wooden privacy fence in the entire neighborhood) so decided they deserved a bell ringing...and another....and another......and a knock and a jack-o-lantern present after dropping my daughter at home for not responding.
I knew they would never answer so felt free to keep banging away, after all I saw them in there!
And that's how we do it in service too. If you think they are at home keep bugging the crap out of them until they answer.
Any reason you datelined Pensacola?
i thought you guys might get a hoot out of this letter that i just mailed..... dear elders (or should i call you glorious ones?).
you can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can never fool all the people all the time.
and you certainly do not have me fooled anymore.
Seeker4:
Consider inserting the advisement that you are forced to continue attending by the JW family shunning law. I know for a fact that the only reason they are not in negative growth numbers is because they threaten inactive Pubs with disfellowshping and shunning.
The leaders are so brainwashed that they actually consider this to be a "loving" action. They can't understand that someone might have a negative view of being shunned.
i need to get this off my chest because it is bothering me to the point i am distracted.
i have a very disturbing experience with the chicago police department.. i had just gotten out of a car that was dropping me off at the cta.
i was about to get out when a cop car w/ 2 cpd cops pulled up behind us and flashed their lights.
We use the word "professional" when discussing Police because "jerk cop" is just too redundant.
And no I don't know why they turned into such jerks.
And no it's not nearly as dangerous a profession as you might believe. According to the US Dept of Labor, pizza delivery drivers are ten times as likely to be hurt on the job as a cop. http://money.cnn.com/2003/10/13/pf/dangerousjobs/

We are all free to do what we please, but considering the "big picture" before we do something is an act of maturity.
So now we should live our lives in accordance with the plan of those who are trying to "slip away" quietly? Wow there are a lot of control freaks associated with the Borg, and they are STILL trying to manipulate us even though we are out.
Why don't YOU consider the big picture; the man is an adult and you do not have influence over him any more!
I personally think that any form of anti-witnessing is the best gift you can give to a JW.
this is going around the "friend's" email circuit.
is this new light from the governing body?
dear family,.
That's just amazing. I really think insanity is rampant in the organization.
for decades now the wt has enjoyed peace and freedom in most westernized lands.. but the wt does not really want the easy road, they do not want to be like mainstrean.
christendom.
they need to appear as though they are different, the elect, the martyr,.
when you have people under you they are like toys you are playing with....remote control toys....while you sit back and safely watch.
Dragon wins, everyone leave now. This is the best and most concise description of life as a JW that I have ever read. Wind 'em up, tell 'em what to do, and when you are done with 'em throw 'em away.
